	SCENE 1	Bob greets the viewer when a Muppet hand snaps to get his attention. The hand "whispers" to Bob that it wants to do something by itself, leading into the next segment. (In a continuity error, the hand that wishes to do something by itself is purple in this scene, while the one actually doing a task by itself in the following segment is yellow.)

Oscar the Grouch requests a sundae just like Teddy's, but with chocolate syrup and a pickle on top. When Mr. Hooper attempts to tell Oscar about the ball, Oscar reminds him that the customer is always right, so Mr. Hooper agrees and puts the ingredients all over the rubber ball. When Oscar finds out he has a ball instead of ice cream, he's ecstatic that Mr. Hooper has made him a rubber ball sundae.
